What was Beethoven's favorite key?

C minor Features. What do you think Beethoven's favorite key is? C minor.

TRANSCRIPT

What do you think Beethoven's favorite key is? C minor.

Actually, it might've been his favorite, but he did not use it the most.

Yeah but, I think D,G,C and mostly E-flat major. Yeah.

And for a concerto, the spring string trio, um, Eroica symphony, lots of E flat. Yeah. Out of all of the works, I think most of them are in major key. If there are a lot of major key Beethoven pieces, when there is a minor key Beethoven piece, like this one, I think Beethoven really wanted a count.

So I guess if he's writing this in C minor, this has got to mean something, right. I mean, maybe it needs to be more dark. Well, I think of this piece as kind of baby Beethoven's fifth, right?

Instead of [Yoo plays a selection of the piece] it's [Yoo plays the same section a key lower] I think maybe we can make it a little earthier. More grit.

Yeah. Can you slate this?

[Voice over the intercom] This is take 67.

[They begin to play the C minor string trio]. Beethoven wrote the C minor string trio at 27, the height of his early period. It was the birth of a style he would explore throughout his career.

[They continue to play].
